Weโve had quite a few new followers and seen a lot of brand new faces through the door recently so we thought weโd give you the lowdown on things at ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ
Glazed was started in total blind faith back in 2018 after appreciating other plant-based donut shops abroad and wanting to bring that concept home with me ๐ฉ
Glazed started in Durham, making doughnuts for wholesale from a spare cafe kitchen. It gradually turned into a market business in Newcastle - most notably at Quayside Market - before evolving into the bricks & mortar shop weโre proud to call home today.
Having been asked if we had a shop I donโt know how many times it felt like the demand was there for it. Having made no money (๐) I thought Iโd take out a loan and give it a shot ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Coast Road is where we still reside today, and have done for 6.5 years now - despite opening the shop just 2 months before lockdown hit ๐
Itโs all in the details (to us) ๐จ
Everything we make is handcrafted in small batches in the kitchen at our Coast Road shop. When you visit us, youโre buying directly from the people who made your treats. We care just as much about the people who support our small business as we do about what goes into our products. We think that should be a given ๐จ๐ผโ๐ณ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ณ
Our approach is inspired by the food culture of mainland Europe, where organic, seasonal produce is simply the norm. We bring that philosophy to the bakes we make by sourcing the best organic ingredients we can, alongside produce from regenerative farms and small-batch producers who share our values.
Great ingredients come from people who genuinely care, and we think that makes all the difference in our bakes ๐จโ๐พ๐พ
We serve good coffee โ๏ธ ๐ค ๐ฉ
Weโve always served speciality coffee, our coffee just took a step up when we started stocking Dark Arts Coffee ๐ญ
I love the idea of supporting local roasters but when everyone was using the same ones, we wanted to bring something different to the table
We could be wrong ( feel free to shoot us down Dark Arts Coffee ) but we may well have been the first place (if not definitely one of) to bring Dark Arts on espresso to the Toon, back in 2022 ๐
We only se
